10th Congressional Session,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1887.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1887.
SENATE.-The army appropriation bill wa
reported back and ordered printed.
Consideration of the inter State commerce,
bill WAS resumed. Mr.. Call in long speech
expressed his approval of the bill.
| Mr.. Brown argued in opposition to the
bill. The bill if put into operation would
derange both the internal and foreign COM
| merce of the country.
Mr.. Mitchell. of Oregon, opposed the bill
and criticised sharply the long and short haul
| section.
| MrCullom said he would ask for vote on
| the bill tomorrow.
The Senate then went into secret session
| and adjourned shortly after.
HoUsE.-The bill providing for an addi-
tional Judge in the second circuit of Massa-
chusetts was passed. The bill gives the ad-
ditional judge power similar to the justice Of
the Supreme court allotted to the district
and an equal compensation, and provides that
the regular terms of the circuit court shall
be held on the first Monday of every month.
The Edmunds anti polygamy bill and the
Tucker substitute therefor were then taken
up. Mr.. E. B. Taylor spoke in favor of both
measures.
Mr.. Caine, of Utah, opposed the bill, say
ing that it was wantonly destructive to hu-
man life, that it would turn the Mormons
and their church over to Unsuitable spoilers.
The men who were here from Utah clamor-
ing for the Acknowledgement of the Mormon
people all know that purer more orderly,
God-lovipg community did not exist on
earth than the exclusively Norm on set
Elements in Utah. It was because the mi !
nority could not rule the majority that they |
were here. If the Mormon people were |
what popular belief declared them to be |
they would destroy themselves more rapidly |
than they could be destroyed by any meth |
DDS to which Congress dare resort. If Nor
monism fell it would fall by it's own weight. |
In conclusion Mr.. Game pledged his word |
this legislation was based were without |
foundation or fact.
Mr.. Benn EFT, of North Carolina, opposed
the bill.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, supported the bill
The Mormon organization was organiza-
ton inside the United States and controlling
one of its territories. 1t was useless to call
this bill an assault upon religion. 1t was
an assault upon a band of men organized for |
the purpose of exclusively controlling ter
ritory which belonged to the people of the
United States
Mr.. Caswell, of Wisconsin, heartily endors-
I'd the bill.
Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to
offer an amendment to the bill
Mr.. Tucker declined to permit his doing SO, |
laying that he wanted to pass the bill here

The House substitute was then agreed to

oers rising to demand the yeas and nays.
The House then at $50 p. m. adjourn ed.

RECORDS OF WAR SERVICE.


The report at length details the efforts
made to secure for the State complete rec
ords of the military service rendered by Con-
necticut sons in the Revolutionary war, OF
the war of 1912, and also to complete the
records of those who served in the late civil
War department at Washington, and con-
cludes as follows: Up to this time no State
of the Union has been able to publish, or
even to possess the material for, complete
record of the individual service of it's volun-
teers in the late civil war. By means of
the arrangement agreed to by the honorable
Secretary of War and the adjutant general
of the army not only is Connecticut
enabled to secure tie records SO much desir.
ed, but the way is opened for all the States,
without action of Congress in the matter, to
similarly complete their records whenever
they are prepared to avail the mselves of the
privilege.
The report concludes with we'll chosen
valedictorv words in view of the adjutant
generals retirement from the G. N. g. after
twenty-nine years most valuable service.
The report contains a valuable new feature
register of the commander in chief and staff
and of all officers of the c. N. G., which
gives each successive military position held
by each officer in the military service of the
State.
General Smith, who is now fifty years of
age, has had long and brilliant record in
the c. N. G. TIL following is taken from
the register which accompanies his final re-
port:
Enlisted in infantry Company New Haven
Grays), Second regiment Connecticut militia
February 9. 1853; corporal, April 30, 1853: third
clned; first lieutenant and adiutant Second regi-
ment c. NJ October G, 1863; major, June I. 1873;
lieutenant colonel, August IT, 1867 colonel, 1871;
resigned October 81, :S4: colonel Sec
ond regiment G. v. G.. November 10, 1874. de
clined; colonel Second regiment C. n. G., January
Il, 1876; brigadier general commanding brigade.
c. n. G., July 8, 1873; adjutaut general State of
Connecticut. January 8. 1885.
General Smiths name will be mperishably
and most honorably associated and connected
with the history of Connecticuts militia.
Under his command the Second regiment
won national reputation, and it's trip to
Washington and special review by President
Grant, Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Han
cock and other great generals of war
thrills with pride still every living soldier of
the regiment who participated in the event
and heard thu compliments bestowed upon
the Second for it's brilliant soldiery appear
ance and marching as it passed the grand
reviewing stand. The esprit du corps of the
was splendid during the whole
administration of Colonel Smith and
New Haven was justly proud of the
regiment and the laurels it won. Other
notable events in the history of the Second
occurred under General Smiths charge He
was probably the most popular colonel any
in the State ever had. His subse-
quent military record has been most honor
able and worthy of the foundation he laid
when commander of the Second.

STRONG WORDS FOR TEMPERANCE
Governor Ames Favors ubmittin&
constitutional Prohibition To The

Governor Ame9 FaVOfS SUI mittfRE
constitutional Prohibition To The
People.
BosroN, Jan. 12-The annual meeting of
the Massachusetts Total Abstine nee society
was held this forenoon. His Excellency
Governor Ames, president of the society,
presided. After he reading of the reports
and election of officers, prior to the adjourn
ment Governor Ames asked the attention of
the meeting as he had a word he desired to
say. He then said that in his address to the
legislature he endeavored tomake it as short
as possible and to include as much as possible
in few words. Some criticism had been
made because he had made no mention of
constitutional prohibition. He did not men
ton it because he felt it was not proper to
do the matter rests entirely with the
legislature. The Governor has nothing to do
with it except to promulgate the passage of
an amendment to the constitution when
passed. Continuing, he said 1.-The platform
of the Republican party is in favor of sub
uniting constitutional prohibition to the
people and SO am 1. [Applause.] L cannot
conceive of law that has for its object the
advancement of the cause of temperance
that would not sign. [Applause.] I did
not recommend high license, but I did re-
commend that in those cities and towns
which voted for license the number of license
should be greatly reduced. AS the law of
the State is for local option I wish to restrict
the liquor traffic within the closest possible
limits where permitted. fear the course of
the third party in defeating SO many prohi
bitionists for the legislature has prevented
any chance for passing a constitutional
amendment this winter. They are respon-
sib1e for it and no one else"
Rev H. A. Cooke said that a brother
clergyman remarked to him to day that he
thought the words of the Governor in his
message relative to license would cost the
party ten thousand votes next year, and I'M
less the Republican party makes a good
record this winter he did not know but he
should go into the third party. The speaker
said he did not consider that the Governor
had advocated license. Rev. J. N. Nutter
said that those who know the Governor best
know that he did not mean to extend favors
that the society express its confidence in
the stand upon the temperance question
taken by Governor Ames. He hoped that
the explanation of the Governor regarding his
message would be circulated far as posi-
BILE. Rev. Mr.. Gracey opposed the motion of
Mr.. Merriam on the ground that it would
look as though the Governor needed bolster
ing up on the question and this the speaker
did not believe. Mr.. Faxon said there was
not temperance man in the State but need
ed to be bolstered up. The meeting then
adjourned.

cause They Can Get No supplies.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 12.-The scarcity of coal
| owing to the coal handlers strike in New
Jersey has been the cause. of considerable
alarm to-day. Havemeyere & Elders big
sugar refinery shut down to-day, the pro-
prietors being unable to secure enough coal
to carry on business. Eight hundred men
are thrown out of work. The Palmer cooper
age was also compelled to close down and
their six hundred men are idle. A number
of small establishments are caught short OF
coal and will have to strike unless the strike
is soon ended. The price of coal by retail is
regulated mainly by the need of the purchas-
er and the avariee of the dealer. The owners
of coal yards are working the situation for
all it is worth and small consumers are suf-
fering in consequence. The opinion that the
strike is really the result of clever scheme
of the coal combination is gaining strength.
Panic threatening New England.
BosToN, Jan. 12.-Coal Of all kinds is be-
coming very scarce here. A leading dealer
quotes retail prices to-day $50, 1915 and
Sc, which is an increase of twenty-five cents
and predicts that tn ey will advance twenty
five cents every one or two days until the
end of the strike. Contractors who have en-
gagged to supply some of the railroads find
themselves unable to do SO. One large deal
er here is said to be so short of broken coal
that he is offering almost the retail price for
supplies. Most of the dealers have enough
to last week or ten days. In Fall River
the dealers are taking out orders with soft
coal which the mills find difficult to use. The
str II 10 Inyu o,1d oapfnr1 SrCy1 Ia 10
Family Goals have advanced seventy five
per cent. The case is the same at Provi-
dence. Portland is reported to be fir m six
to ten days from panic, although five more
cars arrived to-day and five are on the way.
Lowell has supplies for a fortnight, Brock
ton for a month and Concord, N. H., for six
weeks. The price in Brockton has advanced
nearly dollar. In Lawrence most of the
larger mills have enough coal to last through
to spring.

Men Idle At The Mines.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 12.-There will
be no strike Of miners in the Wyoming or
Lehigh Valleys on account of the dockmens'
difficulty. The fact is the men are all idle
now and what they would strike for is
mystery. A circular was received this morn
ing addressed to all district chairmen asking
aid for the striking dockmen and a good
sum of money will be forwarded at once.
The sympathy of the miners is with the
strikers. Last night agents of the Knights
of Labor interrupted large delegation of
Hungarians who were on their way from
Scranton to New Yerk to take the places of
the dockmen. A Hungarian Knight per
suaded his countrymen to retire to Scranton.
